Thinking of making a Donation? Here are some ideas... Gift Memberships are a great gift idea for holidays, birthdays or just because. An HSMC gift membership is a great way to give a gift that improves the lives of the animals in our community. Gift memberships include a membership card, an HSMC refrigerator magnet, and a free subscription to the HSMC’s quarterly newsletter ‘Waggin Tales’. Click here for a Gift Membership form. Donate! Donations of any amount are always appreciated. You can specify what the donation should be used toward, donate in honor of someone, or a Memorial Gift. A Memorial Gift is a beautiful testimony to the life of a beloved person or pet who has passed on—and the gift of life for animals in need. It can be just the right touch for expressing compassion to someone who has had a loss. Click here for a Donation Form. Want to become a member or renew your membership?

During the last week of the last Shelter Challenge, the HSMC hit its best ranking yet, 678! During the first week of this current Challenge, our best ranking was 1099. Let’s see how much we can improve our ranking with every HSMC member, relatives, co-workers, University students, and everyone in this community who appreciates the McDonough County Animal Shelter voting daily. Tips on Voting: Every vote counts so don't hesitate: Start today! Click here to go to the Shelter Challenge page and get started!

Detailed instructions on getting started: Click on the “Click to Give @ the Animal Rescue Site.com” tab on the left-hand side of this page, which will take you to the Animal Rescue Site. Click on the big purple “Click here to Give – it’s FREE” tab. This will take you to a confirmation page. At the top of this page, just below the linked tabs, is a small banner, “Help your favorite animal shelter win a prize, Vote Today”. Click on the “Vote Today” tab. This will take you to a page where you can select the shelter you want to vote for. The first time you vote you will have to put in “Humane Society of McDonough County”, or you can put in Macomb IL, then hit search. After you vote for the first time, you should be able to bypass this step with a tab to vote for the HSMC. Once you vote, you will get a page to confirm your vote by naming the animal pictured. Keep this as simple as possible. If the picture is of a Calico Cat, just put cat, all in lower case letters. Tip: The Animal Rescue Site can get pretty slow during the day. I usually click early morning or late evening and it goes much quicker! |
